Dan in Real Life

This movie came very highly recommended to me. This movie was not as laugh out loud funny as I thought it was going to be. I had expected a movie similar to 40 year old virgin, not another Little Miss Sunshine. It really doesn't even have many funny parts but the story it tells is a nice story.

The story revolves around Dan, an advice columnist, and his three daughters. After his wife died four years ago he was left to raise his now 17, 15 and 4 year old daughters. They go to the family's cabin in Rhode Island and spend the time with the entire family, his 2 brothers, 1 sister and their children. In the morning Dan's mother insists that Dan goes out to fetch a newspapers. While Dan is out he meets a woman and falls in love. Of course there is an obstacle. Unfortunately she's on her way to meet up with Dan's brother whom she has been dating.

Sure enough Dan overcomes this, falls in love and regains his daughters love as well. A happy ending for everyone. It's a nice, sappy movie and pretty much what you expect from a PG-13 movie. A B- for this nice family movie.
